  • Strong hands-on experience with equipment such as :
  • Cyclic triaxial
  • Direct / simple shear
  • Resonant column and torsional shear
  • Bender element systems
  • Solid understanding of geotechnical laboratory standards (ASTM, BS, ISO)
  • Ability to manage projects and collaborate with academic and industry partners
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills to present complex technical topics clearly
  • Passion for geotechnical testing and a desire to deepen understanding of soil behavior
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • PhD in Geotechnical Engineering with a focus on Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
  • Experience developing and validating geotechnical testing prototypes
  • Research background with peer-reviewed publications in soil dynamics or unsaturated soils
  • Prior involvement in large-scale geotechnical R&D projects related to cyclic loading or earthquake engineering
  • Experience transitioning R&D prototypes into manufacturable, quality-controlled products
  • Familiarity with calibration, quality control, and system integration for precision equipment manufacturing
  • Benefits Package

  • 401(k) with company match
  • Comprehensive health insurance
  • Health savings account (HSA)
  • Paid time off (PTO)
  • Professional development assistance
  • Employee referral program
